Wool and silk on cotton

"Silk & Lamb's wool on cotton" is a Materiality label in our listings: wool pile with parts of the design in silk, on a cotton foundation. Iranian trade terms say where the silk goes: silk outlines (gerdeh abrisham), partly silk motifs on a kork field (gol abrishami) or a silk field with kork motifs (kaf abrisham). A Persian press account places white silk outlining mainly in Nain, Ardestan and Isfahan.
